Dare to Honor God

Pastor Ross preached last Sunday on Daring to Honor God from Malachi. Here are my thoughts and prayer.

God is preparing us for a visitation. He wants us to get ready and to be prepared for what He is about to do. He wants us to get our hearts right before Him and return to Him with all our heart. Then He will come with "healing in His wings" (4:2)

My prayer is that we would return to Him with honor. That we would stop giving Him the leftovers and honor God by putting Him first (Matt 21;33) I pray that we would give with a good attitude for the benefits of others that we might be a witness to the world.

May we be worshippers who honor God allow our worship to change us. May we get back to right relationships in our families and truly love each other (4:6) so that He can come in power and righteousness. May we give God His portion and test Him in this and see if He doesn't bless us. May we give in faith with a generous heart and spirit.

May we have a revelation of the supernatural power that comes when we release back to God his portion of the blessing and provision He has already given us. May God infuse what we have in our hand to give for His use with Holy Spirit power.

May we hear God's word as not simply words of instruction but words that come with power and the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction. (1 Thess 1). Words that cause us to honor God, to respect Him and return with all our heart. May we revere His name so that the "sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings" (4:2). Then we will trample down the wicked and He will trun the hearts of the fathers to their children and the children to their fathers. (4:5)
